Comment 1 for bug 503315

@florin: can you be more specific in your description please? I'm trying to reproduce this bug but when I change the permissions on the folder, it is immediately reflected in the Nautilus window. However, clicking on "Apply permissions to enclosed files" doesn't seem to do anything. Any idea what it should do?

What I've done so far is:
Created a directory called dir1
Created a two files in dir1 called file1.txt and file2.txt
Created a sub-directory in dir1 called subdir1
Created a file in subdire1 called file1.txt

I can change permissions on dir1 or subdir1 and it is reflected immediately. Clicking on "Apply permissions to enclosed files" does nothing.

How does that differ from what you observe and what do you expect "Apply permissions to enclosed files" to do?
